The Copernicus Training and Information Session to be held on 19 September 2018 in Reykjavík, Iceland, is part of a series of national Copernicus events. The European Commission is organising the Sessions at the request of, and in collaboration with countries involved in the Copernicus Programme.

The event aims to promote awareness of the many uses of Copernicus data and information, while providing the opportunity for hands on demonstrations and basic training regarding:

• The data and information available;
• Its potential uses and applications, both generally and amongst specific categories of users (Public Authorities , Entrepreneurs, etc.) or business sectors (Copernicus for Land Monitoring, Atmosphere Monitoring etc.);
• The tools available to access the data and information.

The Copernicus Training and Information Session targets both Copernicus “intermediate” end users (technical) and end user communities (non-technical).

For more information, please refer to the Agenda.

These events are open and free to registered participants.

The registration for this event is now closed.

Note that in case the number of participants reaches the maximum capacity of the venue, registration might close at an earlier date.
